There's a certain zen that comes with maintenance or building of everything, from bikes to radios to cars. I'm not sure if it comes from experience or age, but when it happens it changes how you think of things. Finding that zen leads to faster and better quality work. Maybe it's just an exercise in patience that feels zen like.

My back's not got much in it these days, so I've mostly been supervising my wife who stubbornly wants to learn it all. It's funny watching her go through the same hot head, cuss, throw your tools experience I did years ago. I tried to explain my zen theory, but she sure wasn't having it, so I'm leaning towards experience.

That's quite a stretch. Competition is good for the market. The problem are the big tech quasi-monopolies and they usually don't hire small web agencies to build their website.

Or to stay in your analogy: if your country is at war, you apparently see every manufacturing business as part of this war-industry. Even the bakery around the corner.
Bicycle maintenance is what got me out of the habit of riding. You don’t ride for a little while and soon trying to pick it back up first means tires need a lot of air… oh that one’s going flat before the end of the block… Christ, it’s the rear one, there goes the whole afternoon expecially since I’ll for-sure mess up other stuff in the process. Guess I’ll do it next time.

Then I don’t, and stop riding.

It’s crazy that my car beats every bike I’ve owned handily in both maintenance-hours-per-hour-of-use and (obviously, by a loooong shot) maintenance-hours-per-mile. And it has complex electronics and has to contain little explosions and has parts than spin thousands of times per minute! And a damn air conditioner, which is a whole thing all in its own! Plus only cost as much as a surprisingly small number of allegedly-minimally-decent bikes despite requiring way more mass in materials and far more complex manufacturing. Hell, the precious metals in it alone… the bikes have none or practically none of that.

I love riding bikes though. Negative interest in spending any time maintaining them, and taking them to the shop all the time’s impractical (now the costs are really crazy, plus I have to transport them there and back)

[edit] fwiw when I eventually get over the sticker shock at what bikes with any nice features at all cost, I’ll probably get a low-maintenance bike like yours. Do wanna try those airless tires some companies make first, though. Shit’s always going flat, it’s the worst, hardly worth it if I’m still gonna have that problem or if the airless tires are terrible in other ways.
>Bikes are for everybody. You can ride a beat up bike for years with just basic knowledge, l

That is true. But what changed most sceptics, that i met, mind were bikes that actually worked. I understand the fear when people see the price tag and think they could buy a second hand car for that, but once they sit on a good bike they just enjoy it. And if they then learn how to do basic maintenance themselves so that it just stays good and doesn't creak all the time, they fall in love with them. I love bikes.
It's neat to see the whole-party effort behind these things. The climate people and the government want to ban gas stoves, journalists write stories saying that this is misinformation and that the government has no such plans, universities dig up some data showing that gas stoves are unhealthy or whatever. It's cool to see how coordinated these things are - especially because I have no doubt that most of these people are acting independently. It's like, you don't even need to give orders. There's just a sort of mood in the air that people coordinate themselves around. We're like a bird flock, the way they kind of vote which direction they're going to fly in next.
I think it relates to the last section of the post about building websites.
That is the biggest pain point. They are not even using canvas , let alone webgl/webgpu.
We had tried designing and all it can casually handle is about 5 pages at the same time in a view , after than zoom become jittered and browser crashes started to happen. Also the server disconnects happen frequently ( i am running a quad core Xeon server with 64 GB Ram , it eats about 20GB of RAM and very slow)

Downvote all you want bots , that is the truth. If you can try to come up with proper arguments.
Take that to the extreme and you get WASM, or it's predecessor asm.js

It's also what JITers like V8 internally do, you'll get major performance hits if you do weird dynamic things.
Batteries charge better when in a certain temperature range, due to physics. If you tell an EV you are heading to a charger, it can prep the battery to the proper temps.
Vote with your wallets! Stop purchasing their products!
You proposed we stop using the word "algorithm", I argued to the contrary by pointing out it accurately describes what is usually portrayed by it.
As far as we know today, sex for pleasure's sake is one of the unique characteristics of hominid species. For bonobos specifically, it's a means of social cohesion.
They are nice.

Not magnitudes better than IntelliSense, but noticeable.

In day to day coding work it probably saves a few hours a month.
It’s an outgroup thing.

It’s “normal” to be held up by traffic. It’s novel being delayed by a cyclist. Plus you’re doing something important and their leisure is getting my way!

When a cyclist does something unexpected, it’s extremely dangerous; pay no mind that they’re the one in 95% of the danger. When a fellow driver speeds, rolls through a stop sign, or fails to yield it’s lost in a sea of normalized deviance. No matter that car accidents are a leading cause of death.

Do you have any sources for EV sales taking a dive because the numbers are up.
British Bulldog is still played all the way down to kindergarten in Scandinavia. It's called "hawks and doves" or "all my children come home".
I agree with you. I've also found that themore modern a bike is the more difficult it is to maintain

Take hydraulic disc brakes for example, when they work they are great but when they fail they don't work at all. You then have to bleed them which is fiddly, messy and requires special tools then you'll probably have to do it all over again after a few rides. Tubeless tyres are similar.

I made one that does exactly that as a learning exercise. I can't post it here because it's built on a $5 VPS and free services and therefore will probably fall over if more than 3 ppl visit at the same time.

It even fetches relevant images from a stock image site (I'm not a fan of AI generated images) and handles menu and title, headings, the whole page generated from a user input prompt.

So tempted to share but 1. It's kind of trivial to set up (hint: I use Python to generate a Flask template and serve it up) and 2. Last time hn broke my VPS ;)

I guess the real challenge is to do this at scale.
What is it about the age 28 anyway.
> According to Evan Wallace (former Figma CTO), it was 1.5x to 2x faster due to better optimizations enabled by stricter type system.

It's probably not as simple as that. If hotpaths are optimized, the 2x advantage is quite likely to vanish.

But then one could say - well, you're forced to write optimized JS in several places and that impacts readability. Sure, but the trade off was to use an entirely new compile-to-js language with less tooling support and mindshare. It seems now that it wasn't worth it. The blog post sort of sugarcoats this contentious previous technical choice.
>A network that grows faster then ev adoption might not be that useful,

There is a catch-22 in that without a charging network as saturated as the gas station network, there won't be EV adoption.
My teeth fell out reading this.
I've seen this with Phi 1.5B a lot. Try TinyLlama for a 1.1B model or Gemma for 2B. The latter is not available on OP's website yet but maybe in the future.

Established in 1872, Yellowstone holds the distinction of being the world's first national park, and it continues to captivate millions of visitors annually with its mesmerizing geothermal features, diverse wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes. Here's everything you need to know to embark on an unforgettable journey through Yellowstone.
Just to check we are on the same page -

The output is the probability that x is the correct n+1 token based on the input of n tokens.

You are stating that the output will be a probability distribution where token n+1 has a chance to be 80% left and 20% right.

In essence, when the model evaluates the input, at some level it comprehends the semantics of the input and then does a weighted coin flip.

What I am stating is that based on the given input prompt, the nature of an LLM and the training data the output will be "Left"

The LLM will not be doing a coin flip at this stage, since it’s prediction is only text based.

The input vector constrains it to 80% left. Since it’s training data is human text, this essentially constrains the first output token to left 100% of the time.

If you try to have it provide tokens n+2,n+3… etc in the same output, then it will start spitting out right.

Are these the two positions at play here? Have I represented you correctly, and have I represented myself accurately?
I disagree. People on HN won't even signup for Twitter because "reasons". I think gate keeping finicky people is fine, you should at least A/B test how likely you can encourage registration because building initial network effect for something like this is crucial.
One should choose their bike components carefully. I have been able to service every single component on my mountain bike, excluding suspension since that requires knowledge and time I don’t have time to acquire (yet!). As a general rule choosing mechanical components instead of electronic ones has been rewarding on the longevity and repairability fronts. That said some components are consumable, like the dropper post cartridge you mentioned, but to arrive at the point it requires replacement you either used it a lot (I’m jealous!) or it was simply faulty :-/

Might also be a good idea looking for other bike shops in your area. Mine is always trying to recycle and repair components.
Ah jeez, I was hoping for more about the alignment of structure in one's body to apply the greatest precisely-directed force (etc.), but it just focuses on the gimmicky stuff I find the absolute least interesting about martial arts (the showy "breaking objects" stuff)... The post should be titled "why our hands can break wood and bricks but not bones". The physics of karate are pretty fascinating, I would love to read more material that discusses the subtle differences of positioning, momentum/inertia, "spring action"/compression, all that kind of stuff.
It does smell like someone's pet project. I'm wondering what the folk at Microsoft had not figured out, that they indeed had at Figma. Typescript is open source, so why wasn't this optimisation just made as a contribution to Typescript at the time?

Also, was Typescript really as claimed in its "infancy" at the time mentioned in the article? They didn't mention a particular year.
Doesn't matter what (some) experts use; it's about learning fundamentals. You can only become fluent by writing and reading code, at times struggling to do so. This is the only way to learn any serious skill in life, from programming to music to chess to woodworking to cooking to physics to ... anything.
Nobody alive has the slightest clue what consciousness really is, including you. Your sense that it's obvious to attribute this opaque phenomena to an opaque species is just voodoo.
You believe the sword is double edged, fair and cuts both ways.

It does not.

Fair enough.

I have to admit I've written a gpt4 api shell utility which transforms text based on descriptions like "split string on '-' after a '~' but only if it's in a the second csv column and select the third".

I feel dirty using it - send your data to the cloud and use a ~peta flop- but it's faster than trying to remember how to do it in awk for under 1000 lines.
there are certainly people that make me wonder
We should all just look out for each other. Mostly follow the rules, but don't let common sense go abroad.

There are so many cyclists in berlin that just go in front of all the cars at a red light, even it's just one car in front of them. I know that this car can accelerate way faster than me and drives way faster, why would I want to block it and make the driver mad?

Yes, if the road is congested I might pass the cars too, because I realize I am faster, but everything else just doesn't make sense to me.
Pretty much no one goes there alone. If you go with someone else you have 100% chance of conversation and much higher at enjoying it.
Cyclists don't hold up traffic. They are tiny and very easy to overtake if they are too slow. Cars hold up traffic because they're too big to overtake anything.
Having a backing track is a great way to practice. You can replay the tune over and over to practice, the band 'members' never get tired...ever. Being able to program/ write backing tracks (on computer) is a sneaky way of getting into programming too (editing vsts etc).
Oh, it's exactly the point. You've conflated freedom with being free from want. Freedom means being free of other people forcing you to do things. You can go about satisfying your wants any way you want to, as long as you don't force others.

That's what free labor is.

If you believe you're entitled to the fruits of the labor of others, then you've enslaved them, and that's not the moral high ground.
There are US charging standards now.[1] And a subsidy program which is probably too big.

Basic US standards:

- At least four charging stations per location.

- At least 150KW per charger.

- 97% uptime.

- May not require a membership. Must accept credit cards. May not charge more without a membership. Must display price per KwH before charging. Phone-based and car-based payment interfaces allowed but must not be required of the customer.

- States getting funding must have a charging station every 50 miles along Interstate highways.

- Must support CCS connector. Other connectors optional.

This is not fully compatible with Tesla's business model, which may be a problem for Tesla.

I've seen people post that the Yuzu devs had a Google Drive share that contained a bunch of pirate ROMs as well as a Nintendo Switch SDK, so it's possible that Yuzu did in fact have some Nintendo stuff in it.
Thanks for sharing!

I don’t think the first point is fair tho. If this [1] is the video, at 1:27 he talks about two specific manufacturers. The point of the video was that regulations are outdated so different manufacturers can implement stuff differently, not that “everyone does it wrong”. Around the 13 minutes mark he speaks about GM doing the right thing.

[1] https://youtu.be/U0YW7x9U5TQ
Nintendo could have hired few of the yuzu devs and launched its own gamepass style service for PC and allow people to play games via emulation. People aren't using switch emulators only to pirate but because they actually perform better than the original console the games were developed for due to hardware limitations.
Trees release carbon when they die.

The only solution is to green deserts, which you need nuclear power for water desalination to do.
So if someone kills you and isolates your family for one generation, that would make it even?
Pedantic but I believe there was no jump, it was shades?
I’m sure you’re not doing the thinking. You’re copying the line of the Russian regime uncritically.

That cynical authoritarian regime which continues to have a country with a declining population, one of the largest wealth inequalities in the world, no human rights, assassinates political opposition whenever it feels like it and has an economy completely based on exploitation of natural resources.

The proud and brave Russians have somehow decided that this regime is what they will fight for because its their best bet for advancing humanity.

Meanwhile the EU bears the humanitarian cost of the Syrian civil war, because they’re interested in protecting human lives.

But in Russia the human lives don’t have value. All that Russia cares about and understands is having a sphere of influence and power projection. Because Soviet Union was great once, and that felt good.
I don't like cyclists sometimes, and I'm a cyclist... I think anything faster than walking can put the best people into a selfish hurried mind state.
As a guitarist I tend blame the bass players of the world.
Seconded. Love that my single speed rarely needs anything other than some air in the tires. I've got a converted 70s Raleigh that has been bomber for almost 20 years, with the only exception being a busted crank arm. Replace those old hollow aluminum things if you go this route.

Even got my dad a single speed e-bike. If you live somewhere mildly flat, that's a fantastic choice for durability with an ebike.

So many bikes end up unridden because the gears went wonky.
Might be worth switching the link to the academic paper he references at the end. The academics are a bit more detail oriented:

> Greater equality has reduced severe partner violence against women, allowed them to resist abuse more effectively, and made it easier for women to separate from abusive men”

And

> In case there is any confusion, we want to make it clear that we do not dispute the link between gender inequality and gendered violence. Gender inequality is both a cause and a consequence of gendered violence. However, we know from international evidence (and history) that greater rates of gender equality are necessary but not sufficient for the prevention of gendered violence. We are not suggesting that the gendered violence sector abandon the project of gender equality as an important goal, but we do dispute a disproportionate focus on ‘gendered drivers’ of violence, both in analysis of the problem and the parameters of the prevention response.

During the pandemic I decided I wanted to build a bike too, the idea came to me after watching Berm Peak and Park Tools on YouTube, similar to what happened to this person. So being stuck working from home, I bought parts and tools to build a brand new full suspension mountain bike. Like this person it took longer than I wanted because I was missing some specialized tools (bearing and bearing press for the rear suspension) and parts I didn't know I needed. But it all worked out in the end.

When the project was finished took apart my old off-the-shelf mountain bike, now all that remains of it is a frame with the paint stripped off. I plan to convert it to internal cable routing, paint it (I've been watching Etoe on YouTube) and then turn it into an e-bike.

As a side effect of buying all the tools you need to build and repair bikes, I've also repaired my almost two decades sold exercise bike, which had trashed ball bearings. It also made me realize that most people would have thrown it away and bought a brand new one.
They have specific discharge curve which would be too much effort to fake.
Yup. I have coworkers driving to work complain to me about some cyclist they met on the way to work. Like, why..? I'm not responsible for that just because I also bike. It's not like I harass every driver I meet at work just because some driver killed a child again in the city.

And all their interactions with stupid drivers? Quickly forgotten a moment later.
that kind of PR stunt is for failing companies, nintendo will remain rich doing its thing for the foreseeable future
And for Debian users, there was a period where Firefox was called Iceweasel. Also because of trademark rules and Mozilla being a bit obnoxious, because they didn't want to allow Debian to apply their own security patches to Firefox and still call it Firefox.
This approach is wild and problematic to put it lightly. It is a good idea to look at reviews. Here is a review from Emma Parfitt pointing out issues:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180212045651/http://sociologic...

Quote:

The method could be compared to a cake recipe as follows:

1. Take 275 tales. These can be found in any specialist ‘Tales of Magic’ delicatessen or curiosity shop.

2. Separate the yolks from the whites. In other words the presence or absence of these tales in 50 Indo-European speaking populations.

3. Mix with a smattering of jargon and statistics. I found the paper to be written in a statistical analysis style, therefore not very accessible.

4. While the cake is in the oven draw some language trees. These indicate how populations have historically come into contact over time (population dispersal and the diversification of linguistic lineages).

5. Remove from the oven and cool. Ice the cake by skimming over debates of written versus oral narrative, and the distinctions or overlaps between them.

The written-oral debate acknowledges that there is a difficulty in tracing oral stories because tales are so easily transportable by travellers. There has been interaction of oral and written texts overtime, with one informing the other (Bottingheimer 2009, 2014). This basically means that what is an oral folktale, and each tales origins is unclear.

For example, different renditions of Arabian Nights indicated that translators created new stories inspired from oral and literary traditions (Warner 2012: 18). While this demonstrates some of the issues with the paper’s source materials it also illustrates how fearless Graça da Silva and Tehrani (2016) were trying to tackle the complex subject of oral folklore utilising new methodologies.

6. To finish the cake, sprinkle the results with statistics to see whether the 275 tales were more likely to spread generation to generation or across geographical areas due to migration, trade, and encounters between groups of people.

7. Eat the cake.
Not sure why they expect a 10 year old to break concrete. It's not even worth trying, it's a completely pointless ability and your daughter can easily injure her hand smashing against a brick. Unless the goal is for her to be a sport/tournament fighter, but I assume the intent is to learn actual life-relevant self-defense abilities.
